Author Name: Abby Victoria Smith Birth Date: December 14, 1996 Favorite Author(s): Jane Austen, J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Richelle Mead Lives: in Maine Wants to live: in Greece (or Wonderland) Extra: Both Abby and her best friend think they were born in the wrong time period. They both think they should have been born in the Regency Era. Abby Victoria is now hard at work on her next novel; Emma's Story, which is based on actual events that took place in her teenage years. Hers and her mother's love of Jane Austen classics inspired her to write Darcy and Elizabeth and the Vampire. She always believed in happy endings such as the ones in Austen's works. She also says that "The men were definitely nicer back then." Second Sight was the first of her publications, though it came after Darcy and Elizabeth and the Vampire. You see, she didn't have a Lulu account, so every time she tried to publish it, it didn't work. So, when she did get an account, she published the other book first.
